There's a really funny moment during the OSU post-game presser. A reporter asks something that's impossible to hear because again, no one thinks they should mike the reporters, but Rueck answers as if the reporter is asking something about the technical foul he picked up in the 2nd quarter complaining about the officiating. Rueck first says that he shouldn't answer, and then he grins and says "but we don't have a commissioner, so maybe now's my chance!"
I thought the people who were down on OSU after last season were mistaken. Rueck is one of the coaches who can coach a team to over-perform relative to talent and expectations. He seems very happy to have a team that is bought in to what he wants to run. In some ways, this Stanford team feels very similar. Perhaps less talented than some other Stanford teams from the recent past, but playing cohesively, accepting roles, and doing little things that always need to happen for a team to have success.
Fingers crossed for Beers. She looked horrible as she left the court. Couldn't walk without a couple of people holding her up.
